developing a module and deploying it

[Cato Nano]

I'm going to develop a small module of mine to manage taxes collection by small municipalities

How do you suggest preparing a development worstation ?

Where will I put the code for my module ?
How will I install Tryton ?
How will I run it in order to see it in action ?
Can I set up Emacs with autocompletion on my module code ? How ?
How do I create the scaffold for a module ? Is there any command ?

Also, how will I deploy it when it's ready ?

Are there any guidelines ?

Thanks

You just need to have a machine with trytond installed which means a
fully functional Python environment.
There is nothing fancy with trytond development, it is just like any
usual Python development
I would recommend to use virtualenv: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/

Anywhere you want.

Follow you preferred way to install Python packages.

> How will I run it in order to see it in action ?

You will need to have your package installed under trytond/modules or
registered in the entrypoint 'trytond.modules'.

See with your editor what feature it provides for Python language.

> How do I create the scaffold for a module ? Is there any command ?

We have a template using cookiecutter:
https://bitbucket.org/tryton/cookiecutter-tryton

> Also, how will I deploy it when it's ready ?

Like you deploy any other Python packages.

> Are there any guidelines ?

I would recommend reading: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/

Cedrik

thank you

I'm sorry for being impertinent but I still need some help

Maybe what I'm experiencing is what is supposed to happen and I don't realize it

I am trying to install an empty module, freshly created with coockiecutter

It shouldn't produce any menu and any button but it should be in the modules list at least

It's not

I'm sorry, I don't now how to set up a python based project.

and how do I achieve that ?

I tried

python3 setup.py develop

but the target folder is not the Tryton modules folder. Should it be ?

Should I set

install-dir=...modules ?

> or registered in the entrypoint 'trytond.modules'.

This should be done when building Tryton, as far as I understand

But I'd like to use the apt-get provided one, so this isn't an option for me ?

If the module is correctly installed you should see on the modules list.
If the database already exists you should update the module list with:

trytond-admin -c <config file> -d <database name> --update-modules-list

Have you tried installing the module with:


python3 setup.py install


If you use develop, the folder where your code exist should have the
same name as your module.

It's not required if the entry point is correctly registred.

THis is done when installing the module via pip o setup.py.

Ah ! This was the problem ! I renamed the folder and my module showed up in the list !
Thanks !

If I understand correctly the entry point for my module is set up in thhe setup.py file written by coockiecutter
